Q: So I don't have to use PLM?
A: No! You can completely ignore PLM! Please be our guest and use any of the other non-systemd dependent LMs that will work and continue to work just fine, now and in the future.
Q: Is KDE planning on making *any* of Plasma's core components dependent on systemd?
A: No.
